Limited Edition Tin only in the USA? (See my email response from EB)

Limited Edition Tin only in the USA?

Now when the people in Europe can´t get a copy of the Limited Edition Tin then I guess we "only" can get the Standard Edition. Are there a way of getting the Limited Edition Tin when you are not living in the USA? Perhaps we are able to buy it later on? Does anybody knows about that? Because I want the LE now!

I am living in Copenhagen, Denmark, and I am wondering if you at
EBgames are going to ship the computergame Civilization III Limited Edition Tin outside the USA, because I have pre-ordered the game two months ago from Amazon.com and they now say that they will not ship the game outside the USA. I am going to cancel my order with these bastards, and now I ask, if you are going to sell the game to people here in Europe? Then I will place my order at your fine store.
Thank you for your help.

So what do you get of this information? Perhaps EB will ship the
game to Europe - or what do you think?

EB are a big firm and have many outlets in the UK!

I can only hope, I will check the Glasgow shops tomorrow!

they also control a firm called GAME in the UK,
but they are kind of useless!

I just checked on the UK Elec Bout. webpage, and it definately isn't coming to the UK until 16NOV. I thought about ordering it on th US amazon site (before they decided not to ship it abroad) but unless you pay big bucks you won't really get it before the 16th anyway if you consider 8 workin days or so + weekends + Amazon inefficiency factor + European unimportance factor!

Your best bet is if you have a US friend who can post it, otherwise go on a two week drnking binge and 16th will be here before you know it. BTW, Your message from eb sounds like they haven't got a clue about the LE and have just given you a stock fob off answer.

Time to start drinking I think

i woudn't worry about it -- the LE blows pig knuckles..the only good thing is the tin box -- the tech tree is 4 screen prints on heavy paper --cd are in coardboard --frankly its a load of crap in what they sold!!!!!

 

[WUM]

Whatever,
i will buy at EB today and cancel at chips and bits because yesterday they mailed me:

Dear Sir,
 
Your order is currently pending and we are in hopes of shipping your copy sometime next week as it takes several days for our copies to arrive here before we can actually ship them. We thank you for being so patient while we do our best to serve your gaming needs.
